This is very true because of the wonderful design that came out of this period. This time focused on women and the beauty of nature and the pieces were often important. Enamel is a common material used in art nouveau style jewelry, as the period was more prominent than the design on the materials used to create it.

The art nouveau period arrived before the beginning of the first world war, when mass production resumed production of many products, including jewelry. Metallic watermarks are a delicate form of art and have been found as early as 3,000 bc in Mesopotamia. It was perfected by Phoenicians and Etruscan civilizations between the 6th and 3rd centuries BC. It is possible to displace a metal design and hand folding and twirling threads, combined with tiny beads, until a final motive emerges. It is reminiscent of lace and considered one of the most difficult metallurgical processes.

Filigree is still a very popular technique in India and Asia. Enameling origin goes back all the way back to the Persian meenakari lans. The technique consists of powder-bonding glass at a base, usually in gold, by pulling (heating and melting the glass on the metal).

The glass hardens to form a layer of pigments on the metal. Enamel is made of colored glass powder or include clear glass powder that is mixed with colored metallic pigments. It was used by ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Celts; and later the Chinese and Georgians.

It has resurfaced in popularity in the twentieth century. It is mainly used on decorative arts or jewelry, usually small.

In addition to jewelry, enamel can also be applied for glass, ceramic, stone and various other materials. Malachite is a popular stone that has areas with opaque green light and dark bands. Malachite is the result of lalteration of copper ores. Many fine specimens of malachite contain special combinations with other minerals, such as lazurite, cuprite or chrysocolla. Malachite was used in antiquity, up to about 1800 for green paints.
